open iChat and open the Bonjour list from the Window menu to see if anyone else has iChat open and you can give them a chatting.
Me too.
The MB is a great solution for the student. Price is decent. Can run the Mac OS and Windows XP or Vista. Easy to upgrade the HD. Good processor. Nice sized screen. It's fairly durable so you can throw it in a backpack.
Im not sure if i should admit this here but i deleted iChat long ago and I never even used it once. I use skype to talk to my woman, who has windows vista, twice a day and I use Adium a bit as well.
At the last two conferences I've attended, Macs have outnumbered PCs. This is the first time that's happened to me.
well theres the one use you could of used it for
. i need to remember to do this the next time i Mac it to uni as i too dont use iChat much.

I sold mine because they were becoming too common. To retain indie cred I opted for a obscure korean brand laptop.
Oddly enough, the decision that finally pushed me to buy the Macbook was because it was becoming common because I didn't want something that was considered Indie, hippie, or used overwhelmingly by artistic types.
Yay!!
Apple is finally being taken seriously!
Go!! OSX!

Just watch where you throw that backpack....
Possessions do not define you. Cred is earned through actions, not ownership. Rare concept in the ego and image driven society known as "me."
Does your class look like this?
University of Missouri-Columbia (Mizzou)
This person has to feel so left out of the group. LOL
^ theres also a PC to the right of the red circle and the pen and paper kid.
i read somewhere that this Lecture recommends you buy a Mac so theres always going to a PC user or someone who doesnt use a notebook at all so 99% of them are Mac users.
i think these students took advantage of the recommendation because the hardware design is so cool and the OS is nice looking and FAST!

Nothing wrong with paper and pencil/pen.^ theres also a PC to the right of the red circle and the pen and paper kid.
Also, no one wants to steal it and the batteries last forever!

i AM a pen and paper kid! i use my Mac for the uni website, surfing, emails and for papers. in lectures we have paper notes.
my battery seems to konk out sometimes and then i need coffee to recharge it!
Yeah i've been seeing a lot more apples lately. We can thank the Intel switch, the iPod and vista's issues for that. 4 people in my class got macbooks (i kinda got them to switch though ) and two others are thinking of switching by the end of summer.
My brother also just got a MBP...and an iPod classic....and an iPhone.
I remember back in 2004 when everyone would look at me funny but with intrigue when i pulled out my 12" Powerbook cos it was so small & sleek and wasn't running windows but still churned out essay papers as per normal...mind boggling for some.
I have to admit though i switched because macs were rare at the time, different and somewhat exclusive in addition to frustrations with a Dell desktop.
Theres no doubt that Apple computers are becoming mainstream and i'm glad...it was high time. I just hope Apple doesn't become a victim of its own success though
